Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lancaster Family: A History of Thomas and Phebe Lancaster, of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Their Descendants, From 1711 to 1902 For several years past I have been interested in the history of the early generations of our family, who, by endless toil and years of privation, have assisted to cut from the forests and dig from the swamps the country of which we are so justly proud. While we are enjoying the results of their labors, their memory is fast fading away and sinking in the darkness of oblivion. Time is swiftly blotting from the records those whose memory we desire to perpetuate, and their his tory would be lost forever if not soon gathered from the fast disappearing pages. As time has passed, family ties have grown more and more uncertain, and it has been a great task to gather the matter together from church, public and private records, and connect them in their proper order.
